Dry needling is a skilled intervention that uses a thin filiform needle to penetrate the skin and release underlying myofascial trigger points, muscular, and connective tissues for the management of neuromusculoskeletal pain and movement impairments.  Dry needling (DN) is a technique used to treat dysfunctions in skeletal muscle, fascia, and connective tissue, and, diminish persistent peripheral nociceptive input, and reduce or restore impairments of body structure and function leading to improved activity and participation.

Precautions

  • Pregnancy.  We recommend to not use dry needling during the first trimester of pregnancy.
  • Bleeding disorders.  We recommend not to dry needle patients that have bleeding disorders.
  • Local infection.  We recommend not to use dry needling with patients that have local infection near or around the site.
